Obituary. The death occurred in the Greytown Hospital on Saturday evening of a well-known and highly respected resident of this district in the person of Mr Timi Kara Tunuiarangi (James Carroll) after a short illness. He was 48 years of age and was born at Gladstone, where his father, the late Major Tunuiarangi, was a resident, prior to taking up his residence at Raurua Pirinoa. The late Mr Tunuiarangi was a member of the first Maori battalion during the Great War. He suffered from war effects. He was very popular with all whom he came in contact with. He was a prominent rifle shot, having been a leading member of the now defunct Tuhirangi Rifle Club. He also identified himself with other activities in the district. He is survived by a son and daughter. Mrs Kokiri. wife of the' Rev. P. Kokiri, of Wanganui, is an only sister. The sympathy of the residents of the district will be extended to the relatives. He will probably be interred in the family plot at Hinaua, Gladstone.
